Elk Steaks with Lobster Mushrooms and Bacon Roasted Cauliflower

Last night we had an excellent dinner at our friends’ house. He’s wanting to learn how to cook game meat, so we took over some elk steaks and cooked them how we usually do and then let him experiment how he thought they’d best be cooked. (We generally sear them with butter in a skillet, his girlfriend is lactose intolerant so he worked with olive oil) I’d never heard of lobster mushrooms, but roasted in the oil with the steaks, and chopped in a food processor with some olive oil…muah! Totally impressed.

Throw together some cauliflower with cooked bacon and the grease and top with cheese of your choice. Sharp flavors like asiago or Gruyere make it exceptional. Bake in your oven until the cauliflower is tender.
